Most Epic-made Fortnite modes will be down beginning at noon today, though player-made experiences will still be up until downtime begins. Server Downtimeįortnite servers will go down Saturday starting at 11:30pm ET / 8:30pm PT for the v28.00 update. Usually there are multiple stages for events like these, with some kind of special mode to mess around in after the show. There’s no word on how long the event will last but plan for a good half hour. You’ll also be able to watch via any number of streamers on Twitch, YouTube and elsewhere. If you’re not able to play on your console or PC, Epic notes that you can play via Xbox Cloud Gaming, Nvidia GeForce NOW or Amazon Luna on your mobile device as well.
You can play with friends in parties of up to four people. Players will be able to login to the event’s pre-lobby 30 minutes ahead of time, which is highly recommended to avoid long queues that could interfere with your ability to get into the game. The Big Bang event kicks off Saturday, December 2nd at 2pm ET / 11am PT.
